"Sabrina Carpet may be Gen Z, but she's an "old soul" through and through - at least, she is when it comes to style. In her music videos, she loves referencing classic films, paying homage to both the stories and iconic fashion of hits like Death Becomes Her ("Taste")or The Rocky Horror Picture Show ("Tears"). IRL, meanwhile, she's able to channel style icons that have come before."
"Carpenter stole the show at the 2025 MTV VMAs red carpet on Sunday the moment she walked the red carpet in an equally crimson lace gown. But she topped even more headlines with her performance of "Tears," which she used to show support for trans rights by casting a backup ensemble of drag queens and dancers holding "Protect Trans Rights" and "Support Local Drag" signs, among others."
"Following her successful awards show outing, she threw an after-party and predictably changed into another look. That, too, dominated fashion group chats. The number featured a black bodysuit covered from the neck down with inch-thick strips of pink, blue, and black fabric. Each floor-length strip was embellished with a mix of silver circular hardware and grommets. She paired the dress with vertiginous platform heels (her favorite heel height) in a metallic silver hue and peep-toe detail."
Sabrina Carpenter blends Gen Z identity with old-soul fashion by referencing classic films and channeling past style icons. She has worn looks associated with Fran Drescher's Fran Fine and Madonna's 1991 Bob Mackie Oscars dress. At the 2025 MTV VMAs she arrived in a crimson lace gown and performed "Tears," enlisting drag queens and dancers holding signs such as "Protect Trans Rights" and "Support Local Drag" to show support for trans rights. After the show she changed into a Bob Mackie design originally worn by Cher in 1975, a black bodysuit with inch-thick pink, blue, and black strips embellished with silver hardware and paired with metallic silver platform heels.
